Change language:
Audi and the western Hungarian city of Gyor have developed close ties, and the company has made a significant contribution to the success of Hungary’s economy, the minister of foreign affairs and trade said on Tuesday, announcing a training scheme linked to the transition to electromobility.
The Audi Ahead competence development project at the regional service centre for subsidiaries of Volkswagen AG will provide training for 500 people, and the 1.5 billion forint (EUR 3.9m) investment will receive 750 million forints in government support, Péter Szijjártó said at the launch event. “Beyond the physical preparations for the new car industry, involving the purchase of machinery, the necessary technological know-how must be acquired by everyone who will provide the basis for the new era,” Szijjártó said.
He said the German company had demonstrated trust in Hungary in an area that was vital to its own global operations. “These days when rumours and fake news are being spread, it is worth making clear that cooperation between Germany’s industry and economy with Hungary is expanding fast,” he added.
